  • multiple upload_dirs now supported
  • Tip of the day implemented
  • Telemetry/Instrumentation direct to Amplitude added

v1.21 (Released 2022-08 to 2023-03)

  • PHP 8.2.0 with all extensions
  • Full Drupal 10 support, with needed database extensions on PostgreSQL and MariaDB/MySQL
  • TYPO3 v12 support
  • FIG spec generation
  • Craft CMS explict project type
  • Improved WSL2 support, with install scripts
  • Optional new Traefik replacement for ddev-router
  • Support for .ddev/.env files to set environment variables
  • Improved ddev pull and ddev pull platform
  • ddev self-upgrade, ddev debug migrate-database, ddev debug get-volume-db-version, ddev debug check-db-match, ddev querious commands
  • Repositories in "drud" org moved to github.com/ddev, including github.com/ddev/ddev.
  • Container Start Hooks are now available using .ddev/web-entrypoint.d/*.sh
  • Support for GitHub Codespaces
  • MySQL 8.0 upgraded to 8.0.31

v1.20 (Released 2022-08)

  • Improved Node.js support**. You can now run a Node.js daemon with simple config.yaml support (web_extra_daemons) and if it listens on a port you can expose it via ddev-router with web_extra_exposed_ports. (Both of these features can be used for daemons other than nodejs daemons.)
  • Default PHP version for new projects is now 8.0; the default database version is now MariaDB 10.4.
  • config.*.yaml are now merged instead of overwriting other values. For example, if config.yaml has hooks, and config.something.yaml has hooks, the values will be merged, getting all of the hooks. Scalar values (like php_version, for example) still are overwritten by the last value loaded.
  • ddev craft command is now included for projects of type php.
  • ddev npm and ddev yarn use the relative path in the project for execution inside the container.
  • Platform.sh provider integration has been updated so it doesn’t require any editing of files, only setting a couple of environment variables. This is the future for all of the provider integrations; there’s no reason why files should have to be modified.

v1.19.0-v1.19.5 (Released 2022-03 through 2022-07)

  • ddev get and ddev get --list allow quick installation of maintained, tested add-ons.
  • PostgreSQL support alongside MariaDB and MySQL.
  • Run on any platform without Docker Desktop. Colima support for macOS and Docker-inside-WSL2 for Windows.
  • Database snapshots are now gzipped, resulting in perhaps 20x size difference. A snapshot that used to use 207MB on disk is now 5MB.
  • New ddev service enable, ddev service disable, ddev php, ddev debug test, ddev debug dockercheck commands.
  • Support for remote Docker instances.
  • import-db, export-db, and import-files now accept xz and bzip2 compression, thanks to weareb13 for sponsoring this feature.
  • ddev clean will clean up project usage like snapshots and old images thanks to @mikebarkas
  • mariadb:10.7 and 10.8.
  • ddev debug refresh command to clear Docker’s cache for composer-not-updating or related build issues.
  • Node.js 18 is now supported in nodejs_version.
  • ddev snapshot --all can now snapshot running and non-running projects.
  • ddev config --web-environment-add and ddev config global --web-environment-add now allow adding to existing environment variables, instead of replacing them.
  • Interactive project selection on ddev start -s and ddev stop -s - you can choose which project you want to start or stop from the listed projects.
  • Multiple Dockerfiles: The .ddev/web-build and .ddev/db-build directories can now contain multiple Dockerfiles named Dockerfile, Dockerfile.<anything>.
  • pre-Dockerfiles: v1.19.3 added .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile.* but there are some things people have to do in a build before anything else, like adding proxy information or installing a CA.
  • Container Wait Timeout is improved so a long ddev snapshot restore doesn’t tell you it timed out.
  • ddev npm command

v1.18 (Released 2021-09-28) and v1.18.2 (2021-12-08)

  • Integrated docker-compose so Docker updates don’t break things.
  • Mutagen support results in a huge speedup for macOS and traditional Windows users.
  • Support docker-compose v1 and v2
  • Support MariaDB 10.6
  • Support PHP 8.1
  • Improved integration with PhpStorm on all platforms, including WSL.
  • xhprof support for performance profiling alongside Blackfire support
  • Base image for the ddev-webserver is now Debian 11 Bullseye.
  • mysql5.7 and mysql8.0 support on ARM64 (Mac M1) machines.

v1.17 (Released 2021-04-07)

  • Composer v2 is now the default Composer version.
  • Brand new provider integration system, with user-configurable and extensible techniques, Acquia, Platform.sh, DDEV-Live, Pantheon integration.
  • Excellent improvements to ddev snapshot, including ddev snapshot restore --latest, prompted ddev snapshot restore, ddev snapshot --list, ddev snapshot --cleanup, ddev snapshot --all
  • ddev snapshot restore now shows progress as it goes.
  • Built-in support for both xhprof and Blackfire profiling.
  • New ddev config --auto option that configures a project with detected defaults.
  • Web container environment variables can be set in config.yaml or global_config.yaml with the web_environment key.
  • ddev heidisql command provides a nice database browser on Windows and Windows WSL2.
  • The PHP default for new projects is now PHP 7.4.
  • The MariaDB default for new projects is 10.3.
  • New docs theme.

v1.16 (Released 2020-11-12)

  • Support Shopware 6.
  • Remove support for Docker Toolbox on Win10 Home (in favor of new Docker Desktop).
  • Remove apache-cgi webserver_type.

  • Updated support of Pantheon via Terminus instead of undocumented API
  • Support for Magento and Magento 2, #1802
  • Remove deprecated support for webcache
  • Review/experimentation with GUI options #2110

v1.12 (Released 2019-12-04)

  • Support for multiple versions of Oracle MySQL as well as MariaDB
  • Improved WordPress support (several open WordPress bugs)
  • Custom command improvements

v1.11 (Released 2019-09-19)

v1.10 (released 2019-08-02)

v1.9 (released 2019-06-26)

v1.8 (released 2019-05-14)

  • Browsers and host OSs now trust DDEV sites over HTTPS. You do have to take the one-time action to install the CA keys into your operating system and browsers: mkcert -install. If you use one of the package installation methods or the Windows installer, you should already have mkcert. Otherwise, see the mkcert page for installation options. (Even curl and operating system tools generally trust the mkcert certs, and curl within the container also trusts them.)
  • Dynamic container updates: If you need extra Debian packages in your web or db container (or need to make more sophisticated adjustments) you no longer have to wait for them, or install them every time you start a project. You can add webimage_extra_packages to your config.yaml or build a free-form Dockerfile (Dockerfile.example provided in your .ddev folder)
  • nginx configuration in the web container has been reorganized and simplified. This mostly won’t matter to you unless you use custom nginx configuration, in which case you’ll want to upgrade your configuration (see below). docs
  • ddev exec and exec hooks now interpret commands using Bash. This means you can have a hook like sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y some-package without putting bash -c in front of it. And you can ddev exec "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y some-package" as well, no bash -c required.
  • ddev exec can now work with interactive situations. So for example, you can ddev exec mysql and interact with the MySQL program directly. Or ddev exec bash, which is the same as ddev ssh.

v1.7 (released 2019-03-28)

  • config.*.yaml overrides: local configuration files can be used to override a team-standard checked-in .ddev/config.yaml. See docs. #1504 and #1410.

  • Optional static bind ports for db and web server containers. Those who want the db server or web server bound port to be static within a project can use host_db_port or host_webserver_port to specify it: #1502, #1491, #941

  • Previous versions of Docker for Mac supported operating systems back to El Capitan, but Docker-for-Mac has dropped support for anything before macOS Sierra 10.12, so DDEV also has to drop support for everything before Sierra.

  • The default PHP version changes to 7.2. This affects new Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 projects, as well as projects of type php.

  • Fix regression in v1.5.0 where mariadb_version = 10.1 did not properly set the container version to the 10.1 container version.

  • The ddev-dbserver images now use the official MariaDB Docker image (which uses Debian) as a base, instead of building a custom Alpine image. This should be invisible to all users, but we love to hear feedback.

v1.6 (released 2019-02-11)

  • DDEV now supports NFS mounting into the container on all platforms. This provides nearly the speed increase of the experimental webcache feature, but with far greater reliability, and it works on all platforms. In addition, it seems to solve perpetual symlink problems that Windows users had. It does require some configuration on the host side, so please read the docs
  • Chocolatey installs on Windows: Chocolatey is a leading package manager for Windows, and it makes so many packages so easy to install. On our Windows testbots we use choco to install all the key items that a testbot needs with choco install -y git mysql-cli golang make docker-desktop nssm GoogleChrome zip jq composer cmder netcat ddev, note that DDEV is in there now :).
  • The ddev-dbserver container has been updated so that triggers work, for those of you who use triggers.
  • Root/sudo usage of DDEV is prevented (#1407). We found that people kept getting themselves in trouble by trying to use sudo and then they would have files that could not be accessed by an ordinary user.

v1.5 (released 2018-12-18)

  • The newly released PHP 7.3 is now supported, php_version: 7.3 or ddev config --php-version=7.3. As noted above, php-memcached is not yet available for 7.3.
  • For macOS users, a new experimental webcaching strategy makes webserving way faster on large projects like TYPO3 or Drupal 8. webcache_enabled: true in the config.yaml will start a caching container so that actual webserving happens on a much faster filesystem. This is experimental and has some risks, we want to know your experience. It takes longer to do a ddev start because your entire project has to be pushed into the container, but after that hitting a page is way, way more satisfying. Note that .git directories are not copied into the webcache, Git won’t work inside the web container. It seemed too risky to combine 2-way file synchronization with your precious Git repository, so do Git operations on the host. Note that if you have a lot of files or big files in your repository, they have to be pushed into the container, and that can take time. I have had to clean up my .ddev/db_snapshots directory rather than wait for the docker cp to happen forever. A big shout out to Drud team member @cweagans for the original docker-bg-sync that we forked and used to implement this! Thanks!
  • Important Windows symlink support in ddev composer (ddev#1323). On the CIFS filesystem used by Docker-for-Windows, real Linux/Mac symlinks are supported but cannot be created, so Composer operations inside the container in some cases create simulated symlinks, which are actually files with XSym content; these work fine inside the container… but they’re not real symlinks and sometimes cause some issues. We’ve added a cleanup step after ddev composer that converts those XSym files into real symlinks. It only works on Docker for Windows, and it only works if you have “Developer mode” enabled on your Windows 10/11 Pro host. More info is in the docs

v1.4 (released 2018-11-15)

  • The ddev composer command now provides in-container Composer commands for nearly anything you’d want to do with Composer. We found that lots of people, and especially Windows users, were having trouble with fairly difficult workarounds to use Composer. However this has value to most DDEV users:
    • The Composer and PHP version used are the exact version configured for your project.
    • Your Composer project will be configured for the OS it’s actually running (Linux in the container). This was a serious problem for Windows users, as composer install on Windows OS did not result in the same results as composer install in Linux, even if symlinks were working.
    • Note that because of problems with symlinks on Windows, it is not recommended to use code from the host (Windows) side, or to check it in. That means it will not be appropriate to check in the vendor directory on the host (although it would be safe inside the container), but most people do a composer build anyway.
    • The ddev composer create command is almost the same as composer create-project but we couldn’t make it exactly the same. See docs for its usage.
  • Composer caching: Composer downloads are now cached in a shared Docker volume, making in-container composer builds far faster.
  • Shared SSH authentication in web container: You can now ddev auth ssh to authenticate your keys in the automatically-started ddev-ssh-agent container, which shares auth information with ever project’s web container. This allows access to private composer repositories without the pain of manually mounting ssh keys and authenticating each time you need them in each web container. It also allows easier use of facilities like drush rsync that need SSH auth. This means that the previous manual workaround for mounting ssh keys is now obsolete. Please use ddev auth ssh instead.
  • Configurable working and destination directories. You can now specify the container directory you land in with ddev ssh, ddev exec, and exec hooks in config.yaml (#1214). This also means that TYPO3 users will land in the project root by default; Drupal/Backdrop users land in the project root by default.
  • ddev export-db makes textual exports of the database easier; Don’t forget about ddev snapshot as well.

v1.3 (released 2018-10-11)

  • Apache support now works on Windows and has full test coverage and is no longer experimental. It seems to work quite well.
  • MariaDB is upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2. MariaDB 10.2 has a number of advantages including more flexible key lengths. (This does mean that pre-v1.1.0 databases which were bind-mounted in ~/.ddev can no longer be migrated to Docker volumes with this release, see caveats above. Also, snapshots from previous releases cannot be restored with this release, in caveats above.)
  • Automatic generation of WordPress wp-config.php has been improved and extra guidance provided for WordPress projects. (#1156)
  • The web server container logs format is improved and all key logs are now provided in ddev logs.
  • The web server container now gives significantly more information in its healthcheck information (use docker inspect --format='{{json .State.Health }}' ddev-<project>-web). It also exits when one of its components is unhealthy, so that we all don’t spend time debugging a broken container or broken add-on configuration.
  • The dbserver container now provides full log information to ddev logs -s db.
  • php-imagick, locales, and php*-sqlite3 and sqlite3 packages added to web container. You can now run a project with a sqlite3 database.
  • It’s now possible to access web/HTTP/HTTPS URLs by name (including HTTPS) from within the web container. They get routed to the ddev-router, which sends them back to the right place. So curl https://somesite.ddev.local:8443 will work inside the web container for a project configured with HTTPS on port 8443. (#1151)
  • No PHP functions are now disabled in the PHP disable_functions configuration. (#1130)
  • Drupal Drush commands do not automatically use -y when issued inside the web container. They still do when used in exec hooks, so this should not break any exec hooks. (#1120)
  • ddev pull now adds flags so you can skip downloading either files or db. See ddev help pull.
  • A number of bugfixes, docs fixes, and significant automated testing improvements.

v1.2 (released 2018-09-11)

  • Experimental Apache support has been added, but it doesn’t yet work on Windows. You can now run with apache-with-php-fpm (apache-fpm) or apache-with-cgi (apache-cgi). Change your .ddev/config.yaml to use webserver_type: apache-fpm or webserver_type: apache-cgi. (#1007)
  • ddev config now has additional config flags: --php-version, --http-port, --https-port, --xdebug-enabled, --additional-hostnames, --additional-fqdns to allow command-line configuration instead of direct editing of the .ddev/config.yaml file. (#1092)
  • The upload directory (Drupal public files directory, etc.) can now be specified in config.yaml. (#1093)

v1.1 (released 2018-08-15)

  • DDEV now requires Docker 18.06; a serious Docker bug in 18.03 caused lots and lots of crashes, so we moved it up to 18.06.
  • You can now remove hostnames that DDEV has added to /etc/hosts.
    • ddev remove --remove-data removes the hostname(s) associated with the project
    • sudo ddev hostname --remove-inactive will remove from /etc/hosts all hostnames that are not currently active in a DDEV project.
  • The docker-compose version has been updated to 3.6, so any customized docker-compose.*.yaml files in your project must be updated to read version: '3.6'
  • The project database is now stored in a Docker volume instead of in the ~/.ddev/<project>/mysql directory. This means that on your first ddev start it will be migrated from the ~/.ddev file into a Docker volume. The old ~/.ddev/<project>/mysql will be renamed to ~/.ddev/<project>/mysql.bak.
  • Database snapshotting is now available. At any time you can create a snapshot (in mariabackup format) using ddev snapshot or ddev snapshot --name <somename>. That db snapshot can easily be restored later with ddev restore-snapshot <somename>. These are stored in the project’s .ddev/db_snapshots directory.
  • ddev remove --remove-data now creates a snapshot by default.
  • For Drupal users, Drush now works on the host for many commands (after you’ve done a ddev config and ddev start). So, for example, you can run drush sql-cli or drush cr on the host when you need it, rather than using ddev exec or ddev ssh to do it in the web container. This assumes you have Drush available on the host.
  • ddev --import-files now works on TYPO3 and Backdrop.
  • DDEV now has integration with the Drud hosting service, so ddev config drud-s3 works for users of the Drud hosting service.
  • php-redis was added to web container.

v1.0 (released 2018-07-19)

  • Improvements of settings file management for Drupal and Backdrop (more below) (#468)
  • Support for fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) (#868) - You can now add to your .ddev/config.yaml additional_fqdns: ["mysite.example.com"] and your site will be available at http://mysite.example.com after restart. More in the docs
  • Start, stop, and remove multiple (or all) projects at once (#952). You can ddev rm project1 project2 project3 or ddev rm --all; it works with ddev stop as well, and with ddev start for running or stopped projects.
  • Much better resilience when a project is running and the host is rebooted or Docker is restarted, etc. This used to result in database corruption regularly on nontrivial databases, and seems to be much improved.
